1 MONTH LATER...

"I'll catch you guys later." i said, waving my friends goodbye. they waved back and walked toward the their own cars. mine was in the other parking lot across the restaraunt. i adjusted the backpack on my back a litte tighter and stepped into sunshine. the sun beamed its nice, golden rays on anything it could touch. cars honked, birds chirped. it was a brighter day.

i hadn't thought about the girl ever since she left, and i didn't want to start again. life's been less hectic ever since she left.

the cut on my back had to be stitched up. the doctor had took the bandages off and asked what happened. i didn't answer. 

i saw my car and pressed the unlock button on my keys. i opened the door, got in, started it, and drove off. asleep by the smiths was on. my favorite song. i turned it up and rolled down the windows, letting the breeze run through the car. the music spilled out the car and onto the street like water. 

and after a minute, i let out my first laugh in a while.

i was happy again.

█████████████

the elevator of my apartment building was broken, so i had to take the creepy, dark stairway. i trudged up 6 flights and was already exhausted when i got to my floor. the hallway was silent, not a single sound radiating through the long floor. i made my way to my apartment, unlocked the door, and faced what i'd been dreading for a month.

"how the heck did you get in here?" i asked.

she was sitting in the same wooden chair she tied me too, a grim smile on her face. she waved.

"i have connections. but how has it been? you look good." she changed the subject.

"it's been great...without you. why are you here? i told you i didn't want to see you again." i responded.

she laughed, shaking her head. "i don't think that matters now."

"what do you mean?" i asked. my fists scrunched up.

"it doesn't matter because you have to take care of me from now on...well, us."

"what are you saying? who's us?"

she laughed, and rubbed her stomach. "i'm pregnant."

and my whole world came to an end.
